An unsold television pilot from 1961 called "Strictly for Laffs", in which comedians told jokes. Oddly, this pilot runs for 21 minutes, though the average show of the time lasted at least 24 minutes. Many people appear, including a few famous ones including Rose Marie, Alan Reed, and Moe Howard.

It was awesome to see so many comedians working together. I only wish there was more of this show. But oh well. Thank you for uploading this.

I really enjoyed Moe from the 3 Stooges, the guy who did the voice of Fred Flinstone, Mel Blanc from the Warner Bros. cartoons and the others all out of context doing their cute little jokes. Very Jewish show. I could see why it didn't get picked up for a regular series. But, it made me want to see more. Oh well.
